MOSCOW, July 3, Andrey Simonenko.The development of the situation with the detention of Russian hockey player Ivan Fedotov in St. Petersburg by employees of the military registration and enlistment office. Fedotov became ill at the military registration and enlistment office, after which he was hospitalized. Earlier, a source said that the goalkeeper faces up to two years in prison under Art. 328 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation — for evading conscription for military service. On Sunday, the goalkeeper's lawyer said that his client was supposedly being sent to Severomorsk, but at the moment there is no connection with him. «I think this affects his psyche more than future prospects. If he was taken to the hospital with a nervous shock, then «I think the guy went through this so much. And if he is still sent to serve. In theory, he should take the course of a young fighter and take the oath, only then he can be sent somewhere. I don’t know what kind of big top this is and who directs it. Somehow this business does not fit well with the draft, we always have a draft board in the spring, people are called to military registration and enlistment offices, invited to a medical examination, and so on. It seems to me that some otherworldly forces intervened here. there have been no scandals with the army in recent years,» Plushev said, answering the question of how sending Fedotov to a military unit could affect his career. Fedotov is the winner of the Gagarin Cup season 2021/22 as part of CSKA Moscow. At the end of the season, he signed with the Philadelphia Flyers in the NHL. The goalkeeper said that his move to the United States is scheduled for July. «It's hard to say why everything is happening so quickly. To comment on the situation, you need to know whether he was given summons to the draft board or not. After all, he was in CSKA throughout the season, in the armed forces, was in Moscow, all issues related to his future service could be resolved there. No one bothered to hand him a summons when he signed a contract with CSKA. Plushev. «Half of the players in the KHL, if not more, are of military age. I don't know why they treat him like that. Most likely, it really is connected with the fact that he signed a contract with Philadelphia, with an American club, for someone it's very «I didn't like it. Although we have so many players there (in North America) playing. No one showed himself especially in the army. In general, there are more questions than answers in the situation,» the agency's interlocutor concluded.
